Tuesday's Overlooked Films and/or Other A/V: the links

The Tenth Victim
Here are this week's set of links to reviews and citations. Thanks, as always, folks...and please let me know if I've missed your or someone else's Overlooked post in comments. The enigmatic doubletap this week goes to Russ Meyer's version of Fanny Hill, of all things, and perhaps not altogether unrelated is that this might be the heaviest set of negative reviews we've had so far, at least in terms of ratio to the positive. I think I might have to start jumping in and adding some reviews by me of the worthwhile.

I know it doesn't happen often, Todd, but I've got one for you this week:

Intent to Kill

… based on the (hidden) Brian Moore novel of the same name.

Todd Mason said...

Thanks, Brian! More frequently will be welcome, too.

George said...

Thanks again for hosting this online film fest, Todd! And I like that photo you included of CAT PEOPLE! Nice!

Yvette said...

Nothing from me today, Todd. Apologies. This week is just running away from me.

Scott Cupp said...

Hey Todd, mine is up at the usual place.

Todd Mason said...

And now linked...thanks, Scott.

Glad you like it, George...I do seek out some interesting stills.

Yvette, I can sympathize. No apologies necessary!
